There was a stunning array of stands at the show, as well as the unique Brides ‘Secret Garden’ Catwalk, which showcased gowns from the very best designers in the country. The models were also accessorised with Freya Rose shoes to compliment their gowns on the runway!

With so many awe inspiring visions to behold it was naturally very difficult for us to choose our favourite exhibits, but we have narrowed them down for you. We hope our selection inspires your wedding planning as much as they inspired us at Freya Rose!

Victoria Made Cakes

All of these amazing cakes are hand baked and finished by Victoria for a very personal service. She doesn’t ‘mass produce’, every item is baked in small quantities for genuine artisanal quality, and always with use of the very best natural ingredients. Simply stunning!

Laura Burkitt is the Lifestyle Stylist who produced all the wedding reception, interior, food and craft shoots as well as styling the venue at Brides The Show. Laura’s impecible flare for styling became quite apparent when viewing her beautiful exhibitions at BTS! We just adore her creations!

Cocoa Cream

Cocoa Cream is a chocolatier and patisserie business, creating exquisite handmade treats for any special occasion, and my goodness were they spectacular! We sampled some of their wedding favours, made from premium quality chocolate, which uses the world’s best cocoa beans. We could certainly taste the difference – their mint infused dark chocolate was especially delicious!

Best known for her signature handcrafted flowers, Lila’s work is praised for its exceptional craftsmanship and striking detail. The wonderfully talented Lila also collaborates with Freya Rose to create some of our gorgeous shoe clips (pictured above)!

The collection is incredibly diverse; silhouettes vary from slim fitting bias cuts to full and romantic gowns, always using only the finest silks and hand embroideries. Beautiful!

Ian StuartRenowned for his glamorous, luxury creations, the international multiple award-winning designer Ian Stuart has always had a passion for making women look and feel fabulous, and his exhibition at Brides the Show demonstrated this flawlessly! There were so dreamy and ethereal gowns to behold – we were dumbfounded by the intricate embellishments!

Amongst his stunning display, we even spotted one of our own classic designs! Freya Rose style ‘Albertine Gold‘ is also stocked by Ian Stuart in his flagship store, Blewcoat.

Charlie Brear

With a fashion-led aesthetic the Charlie Brear 2016 bridal collection offers a stunning range of gowns in printed silk organza, pleated chiffon and geometric lace. With contemporary beaded touches, a continued focus on co-ords and an expanded additions range, the collection can be styled in ever more innovative and beautiful ways to suit the modern bride! We loved styling Charlie Brear’s interchangeable separates at the show!

Sanyukta ShresthaSanyukta Shrestha‘s collection is grounded in the use of luxurious, organic, fair-traded fabrics, combined with flattering silhouettes, elegance and individuality. Honoured with several national and international awards for graceful creations and an innovative approach to empowering women in developing countries, Sanyukta now has one of her bridal creations preserved in The Fashion Museum, Bath. She is a truly inspirational designer and we loved her luxuriously soft silk dress (pictured above), which was spun entirely from milk!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Brides the Show last weekend and we hope everyone who came to visit us did too! If you didn’t attend BTS last weekend, hopefully this blog post has given you some inspiration for your special day instead!
